aircon

[bluemaumau]

ok another question for the TS populace.

ive got the 4agze out now. which has aircon
the gzes going into the wagon which dosent have aircon,
i was going to remove it anyway

obviously i disconnected it from the pump when i removed the engine,

so the question is should i remove the pump, and if i do, do i need to get a custom belt made up to turn the p/s and alt (i think those are the ones on the same belt )

can t remember

2 options:

1) remove pump and get an appropriate belt to fit (benefit - reduces a few kgs)

2) leave pump, but retain standard belt


depends how much you can be fuxed or not....

i will have to find a new belt when i take my blacktop one off

[Distrb]

you'll also need to find a way to tension that belt, as im pretty sure the main tensioner is useless once you remove the aircon pulley

[bluemaumau]

hmmm, so if i leave the pump, itll still pump away wont it?

nope... it will basically be a 20kg idley

the aircon wont pump till it has power to engage the clutch (like the SC)

You should be able to adjust the belt tension with the alternator adjustment.

bumping this up, so any one done anything else, ive stripped my engine nearly right down, barring internals, and if i can avoid putting the aircon back i will,

so...........

[slighty_looney]

just take it out and get a belt to suit, done that on my 4age and my 3sge

[bluemaumau]

yea bro but that leaves a massive gap and little tension

[Adydas]

why not remove the pump, gut the inside so it just beacmes a free spinning wheel and put it back.

[bluemaumau]

good idea will look into it

[Alex B]

It already is a free spinning wheel, why bother gutting it.

[Stealer Of Souls]

approx 8.5 kgs....

[Alex B]

Wow a whole 8kg...How much lighter is gutting it going to make it??

[samlloyd]

8kg?

[bluemaumau]

whether its 8 kg or not its un needed in a already packed engine bay
